So far, the UPU has received confirmation from 88 postal operators that they have suspended services to the United States. A full list is provided at the end of this FAQ.
According to UPU data collected at item level, we saw an 81% decrease in postal traffic to the United States on Friday 29 August compared to the previous Friday, 22 August.
To provide some more context, over the past 12 months, inbound traffic to the US from all categories of mail comprised 15% of global postal traffic. During this time 44% of traffic came from Europe, 30% from Asia, and 26% from the rest of the world.
While these percentages cover all categories of mail, the majority of these figures was likely to be small packets – the international mail product most often used for e-commerce goods.
